I found this recipe for a smoothie that uses uncombined fruits.

Root Explanation

Uncombined → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "combined" (from Latin "combinare", meaning to join together). The word "uncombined" means not joined together or separate.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') joined together ('combined') — that's why uncombined means something that is not joined.
